Got called a meth dealer...

You beat me to it.

We're just tired of Atlanta (not hard to accomplish IMO - lots of reasons), so the switch won't be a hard one.

I moved from Queens to the Atlanta suburbs last year and have had some good times in Decatur at Farmstead 303 and the Brick Store Pub. I definitely would not prefer to live there to Peachtree City (just bought a golf cart recently), especially with a neighbor like that.

I'm pretty sure it's 100 gallons per adult per household here. So if you do move back to Columbus, you can brew 4x as much. Need I say more?

The limit is only how much is exempt from excise taxes of $0.48 per gallon. Not sure who to give the check if I ever encounter such a situation... If you brew the federal maximum of 200 gallons you would owe them $72 that they would probably be very surprised to receive.

I had a friend that threw up on a generals shoes when I was in the Jarines... The general came into the e-club to be with the 'troops' and bought everyone a bunch of rounds, and when my friend went to shake his hand, it just happened to all come up at that point.. The general decided to call it a night at that point.. My friend never lived that down either...

420 huh? Amazing no one has mentioned it on any of the other sites I go to either... And at one of them, there is definitely a lot of pot heads... I quit smoking that stuff a good 20 years ago too...

FYI, James Spencer of Basic brewing just posted this about Alabama legislation.

From Chattahoochee Brewing: Alabama is one of the last 2 states where it's still illegal to homebrew your own beer, mead, wine or cider for personal consumption, and that just wont do. Tomorrow HB266 is on the Special Order Calendar (SOC) and we need all the help we can get! call, email, fax or otherwise contact your Alabama representative and ask for their support on HB266. Let's get it done this time!

I don't know how it is in other states, but in the NY/NJ area if a person abuses the 911 system, or even the local station, it can be a serious offense. Making repeated frivolous calls that person first gets a stern warning. If it continues the person can be brought up on charges. Reason being of course taking away personnel from being available for serious and real situations.

Yeah... she's entertaining, except for the fact that she kept us up a little later than we wanted to be that night.

Any good references to the actual laws of states that made brewing legal? Specifically, Georgia? Not concerned... just going to print it out on posterboard and on an easel at the end of the driveway when I'm brewing next.

We're thinking of moving up to Columbus, OH... I see several brewers from there, so the supply/community must be decent.

If homebrewing is really factoring into your moving destination, you should move to Cleveland over Columbus. My good friend just moved down there to attend OSU grad school and said the local homebrew club there (SODZ) weren't very friendly, and the shops do not carry a lot/aren't very knowledgeable.

Plus, the breweries up here are 10x better than anything in Columbus!

Sorry about the crazy neighbor, sounds nutty. I have a neighbor that we affectionately refer to as the Disgruntled Former Policeman aka DFP. I once had to call the village police to report something and when the officer came to the house, he saw that the DFP was our neighbor and we shared stories and commiserated. My strategy is to be amused, rather than annoyed, as much as possible.

Hope it gets better for you and your partner soon.

Just be glad you don't have a neighbor pointing a ray gun at your electric meter. So it will spin real fast, and your electric bill will run so high, that you'll run out of money. Then the neighbor with the ray gun can buy your house for pennies on the dollar.

Service call, when I worked at the phone co., years ago. I asked my boss what that had to do with the phone, and he said, just go out and appease them.

when I'm brewing in the driveway, my neighbors just ask

"hey, when will that be ready?"

This is my 3rd year in my apt and since I've been brewing in the driveway( 2 times over the last month) I've met 4 of the 11 neighborson my section. One kid said man that smells good is that a smoker.... HEHE, so far I've got 3 of the neighbors waving at me everyday that they see me now. Before it was a mind your own business kinda thing.

My neighbors know I brew. Some come over when I'm brewing, others come and have a pint every now and then.

One neighbor brought me a sankie keg the other day, out of the blue. I handed him a liter of Hefe.

We do have a crazy drunk woman that lives catty-corner across the street. Never had any brewing issues with her, but she did get her car STUCK IN MY YARD one night. Called 911 on her drunk, dumb a$$. They hauled her off, and she was driving again the next day. Week later, she ran over another neighbors mailbox. She is still driving, every day. Good laws we have there.
